text-adventure | A text adventure game for Android | Game Engine library

So I am trying to add save files to my text-adventure game that can't be edited by the user. This is so that they can't cheat by editing the dictionary inside of it. So far all I've done is a few algorithms that can be easily bypassed if you connected the dots. Basically it's this.

Im new in Python3. I wrote a little text-adventure but i don't know how to use the input string to access the object properties.

Im making a text-adventure game where you have to solve riddles. And i created an array riddles = ["riddle1", "riddle2", ...] and answers= ["answer1", "answer2", ...](answer1 is answer to riddle1) then i choose random riddle with riddle = random.choice(riddles) and now i have check if input is same as the answer of the randomly chosen riddle. But first i try to save the correct answer of randomly chosen riddle into variable answer. I do that with answer = answers[riddle]. I also tried answer = answers['riddle'] as i found on Google. I even tried answer = answers[riddles[riddle]] and i cant get the effect i want

Also i get this error list indices must be integers or slices, not str when i try to run the program

Here is the function

`def riddle_room1():

I'm a beginner programmer (who has a bunch of design-related scripting experience for video games but very little programming experience - so just basic stuff like loops, flow control, etc. - although I do have a C++ fundamentals and C++ data structures and algorithm's course under my belt). I'm working on a text-adventure personal project (I actually already wrote it in Python ages ago before I learned how classes work - everything is a dictionary - so it's shameful). I'm "remaking" it in C++ with classes to get out of the rut of having only done homework assignments.

I've written my player and room classes (which were simple since I only need one class for each). I'm onto item classes (an item being anything in a room, such as a torch, a fire, a sign, a container, etc.). I'm unsure how to approach the item base class and derived classes. Here are the problems I'm having.

1. How do I tell whether an item is of a certain type in a non-shit way (there's a good chance I'm overthinking this)?

   • For example, I set up my print room info function so that in addition to whatever else it might do, it prints the name of every object in its inventory (i.e. inside of it) and I want it to print something special for a container object (the contents of its inventory for example).
   • The first part's easy because every item has a name since the name attribute is part of the base item class. The container has an inventory though, which is an attribute unique to the container subclass.
   • It's my understanding that it's bad form to execute conditional logic based on the object's class type (because one's classes should be polymorphic) and I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that it'd be weird and wrong to put a getHasInventory accessor virtual function in the item base class (my assumption here is based on thinking it'd be crazy to put virtual functions for every derived class in the base class - I have about a dozen derived classes - a couple of which are derived classes of derived classes).
   • If that's all correct, what's an acceptable way to do this? One obvious thing is to add an itemType attribute to the base and then do conditional logic but this strikes me as wrong since it seems to just be a re-skinning of the checking class type solution. I'm unsure whether the above-mentioned assumptions are correct and what a good solution might be.

2. How should I structure my base class/classes and my derived classes?

   • I originally wrote them such that the item class was the base class and most other classes used single inheritance (except for a couple which had multi-level).
   • This seemed to present some awkwardness and repeating myself though. For example, I want a sign and a letter. A sign is a Readable Item > Untakeable Item > Item. A letter is a Readable Item > Takeable Item > Item. Because they all use single inheritance I need two different Readable Items, one that's takeable and one that's not (I know I could just make takeable and untakeable into attributes of the base in this instance and I did but this works as an example because I still have similar issues with other classes).
   • That seems icky to me so I took another stab at it and implemented them all using multiple inheritance & virtual inheritance. In my case that seems more flexible because I can compose classes of multiple classes and create a kind of component system for my classes.
   • Is one of these ways better than the other? Is there some third way that's better?

Note: This is not a duplicate of AttributeError: type object has no attribute. I am trying to code a text-adventure.

I'm making a text-adventure game called Glaux. This game is an RPG game, but it's on text. my problem is how to show the user 3 classes that he can choose from by typing an option but I don't know how.(code provided below).
